I just found out about this site and wanted to share it. It is an online garage sale (or yard or rummage or tag sale depending on what part of the country you are in.) You can post things to sell or look for things you want to...

dragonstar13 That's odd, I know I put it in there because I even clicked on it to make sure it was working. I will have to check with my daughter to see if she can figure out what went wrong. And to give me the link again. Thanks for letting me know there was a...

Today my soon to be EX-housemate had me in stitches, I couldn't stop laughing, and it's left me wondering just how much I owe this man! Ok, here goes, prepare to laugh away at his or my expense for getting myself in this...

dragonstar13 He is receiving social security disability benefits, which make him eligible for medicaid in a little over a year from now. The money he receives is not enough to live on (about 800.00 after child support is withheld) but too much for him to be eligible for...

dragonstar13 I agree. But we haven't been able to find a way to do this. Every agency we have been to has told us he needs insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. You are probably not old enough to remember this, but in the 80s President Reagan cut the funding for mental health...

dragonstar13 Thank you for sharing. I know this is a touchy subject and people who have experienced it often don't want to talk about it. I had a friend in high school who used to call me every night to tell me she was counting all the pills to see if it was enough to...

dragonstar13 I understand and appreciate your kindness. I am sorry if my topic added to your grief. I lost my own Mom 5 years ago next month so I understand some of the pain you are feeling. Stay strong, the grief never goes away completely but it does become bearable in...

My daughters are hooked on the TV show TAPS, where a team of self described paranormal investigators visit places reputed to be haunted. I laugh at the hokeyness of the show, they never find anything. Oh they make a big deal...

dragonstar13 No, I'm not a Scorpion. I've never heard about Scorpions being more perceptive than others. Will be interesting to research. Will let you know if I find anything. Would you care to share your experiences?

Have you ever lived with someone, your boyfriend or girlfriend and you've come home from work or from being out and find that they have packed their bags and gone? They haven't left a note but all of their clothes, personal...

dragonstar13 I forgot to mention, he did come back once after that while I was at work. He got in through a window and took all the best of what little we had. Even things my family had given us for our wedding.

I usually start with these discussions and then I'll go to the last page of them to see how long it's been since the discussion was written. I feel bad for the members who's discussions have been there for hours and sometimes, if...

dragonstar13 OK that was my rant. To answer your question, yes I do check out the discussion with no responses and it does help to see what topics to avoid. But sometimes I find a real gem and even someone to make friends with. And like someone else said, I like to...

This is outrageous and it has gone to far. Read the article I'm posting, about illegal immigrants getting better healthcare than citizens. The average patient in Parkland's maternity wards is 25 years of age,married, giving...

dragonstar13 Gorgeous, it's not just the "white" business owners. At least where I live, the Asian and Hispanic business owners are also hiring the illegals.

dragonstar13 Whisp, I am so tired of that oft repeated lie that illegals are good for the economy. I hate that the statement "They only take the jobs the Americans don't want," which has been repeated so often that the ignorant really believe it is true. Here in the...

dragonstar13 I've never heard of that movie, but I went to Netflix, found it and added it to my list. Looking forward to seeing it. It does seem people from the Old Country are more open to these experiences. Perhaps because they have such a long history and ancient...
